简要总结
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous semaglutide for the treatment of Systemic Sclerosis
详细描述
Systemic Sclerosis (Ssc) is a rare, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by skin fibrosis and vasculopathy. In addition to the skin, it is a heterogeneous disease that affects multiple organs, including the cardiac, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems. This is a small prospective and open-label clinical trial of semaglutide in adults with systemic slceorsis. 10 systemic sclerosis patients will be recruited and receive semaglutide for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of the study is the change in mRSS at 24 weeks of treatment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Semaglutide
Participants will receive once-weekly semaglutide subcutaneous injection at escalating doses from 0.25 mg/week to 0.5 mg/week.
干预措施: Semaglutide Pen Injector (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) at week 24
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks
Change in modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) at week 24 performed by the same investigator at week 0 and week 24 and the change in mRSS will be calculated following the formula: ΔmRSS= mRSSw24 - mRSSw0. To measure mRSS, skin thickness of the patient is rated by palpation at each of 17 anatomic sites using a scale of 0-3 (0 = normal skin; 1= mild thickness; 2= moderate thickness; 3=severe thickness with an inability to pinch the skin into a fold). The scores at each site are summed with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 51 (17 sites)

- the scleroderma health assessment questionnaire-disability index (sHAQ-DI)(Baseline and 24 weeks)
- High-resolution computer tomography (HRCT)(Baseline and 24 weeks)
- Forced Vital Capacity(FVC) and Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxid(DLCO)(Baseline and 24 weeks)
